Quote of the Day “Black people, do the Humpty Hump, do the Humpty Hump; White people, do the Humpty Hump, do the Humpty Hump; Puerto Ricans, do the Humpty Hump, do the Humpty Hump; Samoans do the Humpty Hump, do the Humpty Hump; Let’s get stupid.” –Humpty Dance, Digital Underground (blank stare)
Irony is everywhere. I got an email from Fig this week. Fig’s SOTW is quoted in the place of honor above. The email was about what happens when you let the people vote. (Repeat blank stare).

While running this morning, Euro-Trash Girl by Cracker – the XM 12 version recorded with Leftover Salmon, not the rockin’ 90s version – came around on my ipod. Cracker covered it’s own song and I like the cover better. Here are some other covers I dig:

Sweet Dreams – Marilyn Manson covering The Eurythmics

Potw- Bama -3 cause I just saw where they have 10 straight wins 21 times. Hate Bama but that is awesome to me.
also like Fla -23
After my trip to watch the Bullies last week, I will no longer pick them. Furthermore, I will now pick against them with the hope they lose by 50. And when South Alabama starts their program, I am switching affiliations to them and will urge my kids to cheer for them so that they do not have to endure what I have as a State fan. I’m sure none of you care but this is therapeutic.
